Croatia holiday: New low-cost routes make region top destination

Travellers who want a low-cost getaway that is not too far from home should consider a Croatia holiday.

Easyjet launched new routes to Dubrovnik and Split yesterday, reflecting the region's popularity with all kinds of holiday makers.

The flights will operate from Stansted on alternate days, making them convenient for a spontaneous holiday.

Another airline is to start offering flights from next month. Budget airline Wizz Air will also be flying to Dubrovnik and Split.

However, those who want to maximise their experience of the destinations could plan ahead for a Croatia sailing holiday after booking their cheap flight.

While it becomes more popular, a sailing holiday could be a unique way to see the region that will make it a holiday with a difference.

Football fans, who might want to see out World Cup fever in the football-crazy country, could find that a sailing holiday is the perfect way to see the sights after checking out the local bars.
